Lava Fudge Cupcake

Having checked out their cake schedule in advance, I entered D.C’s Georgetown Cupcake with a mission. Three words: Lava. Fudge. Cupcake. The name, especially when compared to others like “Salted Caramel” and “Coconut” sounded sort of dramatic to me, images of a sweet deluges of thick chocolate sauce or cartoonish fudge avalanches coming to mind. But real dessert’s dramatic, no? Simply put, this cupcake was downright histrionic in the best way possible. From its light, cloud-like vanilla butter-cream frosting (no chunky butter taste whatsoever)  to  its molten dark chocolate core, it really took the cake. It was also the perfect size, capable of being devoured in 3-6 bites depending on how much willpower the eater has. Aesthetically, the cupcake’s design was simple with just a little pillow of butter cream and a bolt of chocolate fudge  atop of the small chocolate cake . Yes, yes, yes. Georgetown Cupcake’s Lava Fudge Cupcake can’t be beat!
